Predicting the play calling: MSU starts season with a TD

Don't expect the first play of the 2014 season to match the hype surrounding Mississippi State. MSU reopens Davis Wade Stadium after a $75 million renovation against in-state rival Southern Miss with expectations at their highest in program history.

Some wouldn't mind seeing the Bulldogs welcome the Golden Eagles back to Starkville for the first time in 24 years with some trick plays.Perhaps a throwback pass from Jameon Lewis to Dak Prescott?

History says otherwise. In fact, expect about a five yard pass to kick off the season. But it also says there's a good chance Mississippi State scores on its opening drive.

Listed below are Mississippi State's five season-opening drives under Mullen.
